| I showed up to photograph Alyssa and started shooting right away! I loved the pineapple sign with their house number... |


| And the details were waiting for me inside! The details were even in the dollhouse... |


| And then a regular sized chalkboard! |


| Then it was time to get ready for the ceremony... |


| Another bridesmaid arrives! |


| Heart the shoes. Yup, cheesy! =) |


| A quick toast for the couple... |


| and a shout out to Alyssa's grandfather! |


| I grabbed a quick shot of Alyssa in the backyard... |





| And then the ceremony begins! |


























| Her uncle sang during the ceremony and I asked him to do a quick number outside! |


| She was loving the camera... |




| And then we walked around Park Ridge... |


| We stopped by the movie theater. I love that we got the ticket guy in the window! |



| And then we were off to the golf course! |




| and some 'not so fun'. =) |


| Awww..... I just thought this was the cutest picture of all! Ha. I had to give this one the 'Joan Rivers' filter. |


| Christine (my great second photographer) handed out some balloons that Alyssa brought for pictures. Someone lost their grip! |


| He was not impressed with that. |





| Some details during cocktail hour... |


| Mark's father was watching from above... |





| She had these great flowers made for all of the girls to put on at the reception... |


| They handed out the salsa at the end of the night! |


| And then I took a few shots of the crowd! |




| Yay! Carolyn was there. I photographed Carolyn's wedding a few years ago. They just welcomed a baby girl into the world...Charlie Bea! |


| The sunset on the golf course right as they were introduced into the reception... |




| Their friend that introduced them was not about to let anyone forget it! Ha! |



| And their first dance... They had a friend sing for them! |










| His mother was DANCING! I loved it. |



| And then his mother and her sisters sang for everyone... |




| And when grandma takes off her dancing shoes, you know it is time to party! |




| We were even treated to a song by Alyssas father! |


| Why is she stealing Marks drink!??! |





| Some 'confused' Irish dancing! |





| And I love the ring shot!!! This was her grandfathers and he was holding it when he passed away. She really wanted to use this for the ring shot and I was so glad she did! |

Charlie At The Beach

09.20.09 | Personal

|





| Jarrod is practicing his training techniques! |


| Charlie goes in for the kill... |


| But this guy was not HAVING it... |




| Charlie finds another friend... |



| I am not sure what he is doing here! |




| I don't know if drinking water from Lake Michigan is a good idea! |



| Charlie gets tired and heads home. Tired Charlie = Happy Jeremy and Jarrod. |













| I had to take a shot of this couple sitting on the empty beach... |





Brittany and Bill showed up to my place and were really excited to get started! We jumped in the car and headed to the west loop.
Who doesn't love a monkey? |




| You could have not asked for better light during our shoot. It was awesome! |




| Some cool shades... They really put some thought into the wardrobe. They said they love to shop together. It shows! |






| And then we headed to the Lake... |


| I really love these next two... |










| Quick change number three for some alley shots! |




Chicago was well represented!
|


| Looking forward to the big day!!! |


Jip and Nanat are lots of fun! They were seriously up for anything. Look below for the animal heads. Yes, animal heads!!! LOVE IT!
Ok. This first picture is SUPER cheesy. We started a park and it happened to be 'Lawson Park'. You know I had to do something with it! Thanks for hamming it up for a super dorkified picture! |


| A theatrical performance... |





| I found this spot a few weeks ago during a fashion shoot. LOVE it! |






| I asked Nanat to dance. She did it! |





| After we were finished in Evanston, we headed to Wicker Park... |













| One of my new favorite locations... |





| The monster door! I still owe Dave and Nancy for showing me this thing! |


| And then came the masks! LOVE it. |



| The chicken dance is cool when it's not on the dance floor! =) |
